Description

Ala-Gly-(Arg8)-Vasopressin Acetate is a synthetic peptide analog of the neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin. This compound is of significant interest for its role in biochemical research and as a potential tool for studying vasopressin receptor interactions and related physiological pathways. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and biotechnology companies engaged in neuroendocrinology, peptide chemistry, and drug discovery programs.

Application

• Biochemical Research: A key reagent for studying the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of vasopressin and its analogs.
• Pharmacological Studies: Used in in vitro and in vivo assays to investigate vasopressin receptor (V1a, V1b, V2) signaling and function.
• Neuroscience: Employed in research on central nervous system effects, including social behavior, memory, and stress response.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control in peptide synthesis and characterization.
• Drug Discovery: Acts as a lead compound or intermediate in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting vasopressin pathways.
